TAXUS—YEWS 
The Yews are widely distributed throughout the New and 
Old Worlds and are among the most extensively cultivated 
of evergreen trees and shrubs. Their greatest garden value 
is their adaptability to soil and position, thriving in sun or 
shade. In the list we are offering, you will find varieties for 
every place and purpose whether it be a tiny one for the rock- 
garden or one that will eventually grow into a tree of 60 feet 
or more high. We think most highly of them. 
Yews can be used for the most exacting planting. 
Here can be found a variety for any purpose. 
BACCATA (English Yew). Widely planted in English churchyards. 
A good ornamental; hardy as far north as New York City. Up- 
tight, dark green foliage. 6 to 8 in. 30c each, 3 for 75c. 
BACCATA Adpressa. A compact growing type with dark green, 
short broad leaves. 6 to 8 in. 35c each, 3 for 90c. 
BACCATA Aurea (Golden English Yew). Leaves golden yellow, 
more brightly colored at the tips and margin. Hardier than the 
type. 6 to 8 in. 35c each, 3 for 90c; 15 to 18 in. $1.50 each. 
BACCATA Compacta. One of the prettiest of the English Yews. 
Slow growing, dense short needles. 8 to 10 in. 40c each, 3 for 
$1.00. 
BACCATA Dovastoni. Branches are wide-spreading, nodding at 
the tips; leaves dull green when mature but light golden when 
young. 6 to 8 in. 40c each, 3 for $1.00. 
BACCATA Elegantissima. A vigorous form of dense and com- 
pact habit, occasionally more open, with the young leaves strip- 
ed pale yellow, the older ones with a whitish margin. 6 to 8 
in. 35c each, 3 for 90c. 
BACCATA Fastigiata (Irish Yew). A strictly fastigiate form, with 
stout crowded upright branches and branchlets; leaves radially 
arranged around the branches, dark glossy green and more ob- 
tuse than in the type. One of the most desirable evergreens of 
columnar habit for formal gardens. Would not recommend for 
planting north of Philadelphia, although it is hardy on Long 
Island. 4 to 6 in. 25c each, 3 for 60c; 12 to 15 in. $1.50 each, 3 
for $4.00; 15 to 18 in. $2.00 each; 18 to 21 in. $3.00 each. 
BACCATA Repandens (Spreading English Yew). A low form with 
long wide-spreading branches and dull, bluish-green narrower 
and longer leaves, partly falcately curved upward. Hardy in 
New England. 6 to 8 in. 35c each, 3 for 90c. 
BACCATA Washingtonia (Washington Yew). A form of wide 
spreading habit with leaves golden yellow, particularly on the 
upper side. 6 to 8 in. 35c each, 3 for 90c. 
CANADENSIS (American Yew). Low shrub usually straggling. The 
hardiest of the Yews, but less handsome than other species. 
Foliage has a reddish tinge in winter. 6 to 8 in. 35c each. 
CANADENSIS Stricta (Dwarf Hedge Yew). The most satisfactory 
> ¢ evergreen for dwarf hedges in severe climate. The best 
substitute for Dwarf Boxwood. Hardy, really dwarf, fine text- 
ture, dark, easily grown, shears perfectly, thoroughly tested for 
the past several years. Also excellent for use in general plant- 
ings of dwarf evergreens 3 to 4 in. 30c each, 3 for 75c; 8 to 12 
in. heavy $1.50 each. 
CUSPIDATA (Japanese Yew). For any and every purpose in which 
* evergreens are required some form of the Japanese Yew can 
be recommended. Perfectly hardy in the coldest parts of New 
England, and resistant to diseases and insects. Accommodating 
to an extraordinary degree, withstands shade or full sunshine, 
dark green at all seasons of the year. Small wonder this 
plant has been acclaimed Japan’s greatest gift to the gardens of 
America. This is the semi-spreading type growing about as wide 
as high. 6 to 8 in. 30c each, 3 for 75c; 15 to 18 in. $1.25 each, 3 
for $3.00; 18 to 24 in. $1.50 each; 2 to 3 ft. $2.25 each. 
CUSPIDATA Capitata (Upright or Tree-form Japanese Yew). This 
* is a selected tree form of the Japanese Yew, otherwise same 
description as for Taxus Cuspidata. 6 to 8 in. 30c each, 3 for 
75c; 15 to 18 in. $1.00 each, 3 for $2.75; 18 to 24 in. $1.50 each; 
2 to 3 ft. $2.25 each; 3 to 4 ft. $3.50 each. 
CUSPIDATA Densa (Compact Dwarf Japanese Yew). This is very 
much like the above except it does not eventually grow as 
high but covers more space. 4 to 6 in. 35c each, 3 for 90c. 
CUSPIDATA Fastigiata Aurea. A dwarf Japanese Gem. Has 
rich, golden foliage; slow growing. Small plants 50c each, 3 
for $1.25. 
CUSPIDATA Nana (Dwarf Japanese Yew). A shrubby form with 
spreading branches closely clothed with short branchlets; leaves 
somewhat shorter and duller than the type; slow growing, 
compact. Often offered as Taxus Brevifolia. 6 to 8 in. 35c 
each, $ for 90c. 
CUSPIDATA Nana Erecta. A more erect growing form of the 
Dwarf Japanese Yew. 6 to 8 in. 35c each, 3 for 90c.
